"rec_aspect" was created by Maria_v
Hello everybody,
I have a question, please.
I'm using the SolarPilot module in PySAM, but it asks me to define the "rec_aspect" and I'm not sure what it really means. By definition it is (H / W) [frac]. That would be the height and diameter of the receiver? For example, by default SAM defines the height as 21.6029 m and the diameter as 17.65 m, then rec_aspect = 1.22. Is that correct?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Best regards,

Hi Maria,

Yes, that is correct.

I used LK script to verify this. In SAM, on the File menu, click New script. Then you can write a script to verify these values. For example:

Code:
a = get('rec_height'); b = get('D_rec'); c = get('rec_aspect'); outln( a ); outln( b ); outln( c ); outln( a / b );

Best regards,
Paul.
